Hawaii Banana Bread
Healthy Banana Bread
What makes this banana bread healthier? Well, for starters, I’ve slashed the oil and sugar by almost half. With all those ripe bananas, it didn’t need any extra sweetness—Mother Nature already got that covered! Plus, oil is basically the calorie villain in any baked good. A little fat is essential to keep things moist and not turn into a chewy disaster, but the goal here was to cut back without making it a “rubbery” nightmare. Pretty sure I nailed it!
Ingredients
- 3 bananas very ripe, mashed well
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Coat a loaf pan with baking spray
- Combine the sugar, eggs, oil and water in one smaller bowl
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in another larger bowl
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir (but until combines, don't over stir)
- Fold in the bananas at the end
- Bake for approximately 50 minutes- 1 hour
